Scratches on my husband back

guineas12

Okay so I went to the pool today with hubby and the baby. When he stood up without his shirt on he had some scratches on his back. When I first saw them my heart sank for a second.

 

Could he be cheating is the first thing I thought of. I have never suspected it before but what could these marks be from. Anyways I didn't say anything and when we returned home, as he was getting out of the shower I came in the bedroom. As soon as he walked out the door he said, "Wonder what these scratches are on my back? Did you notice them at the pool?" I said that I didn't notice them. He then said, "Oh maybe they are popped blood vessles from working out, but maybe not." 

 

What in the world!?!? The thing that made me thought about cheating is one I have seen scratches on his back one other time before (prolly a year ago tho). And two.. we have had hardly any sex since the baby has been born. Suggestions please!!!

Does he have any history of shady behavior? I don't know how you would get them working out but I haven't seen the inside of a gym in a while.

It really could be from working out.  I get them on my shoulders and back when I strain during a workout, or after carrying something heavy on my shoulder (like a heavy backpack).  They kinda look like red dotted lines up close, but otherwise they look like scratches from a distance.

No history of shady behavior.

Know of any good broken blood vessel pictures online? I can't find any, but would like to compare.

When I saw the title, cheating is the first thing that came to mind.

The first mistake you made was lying.  You shouldn't have told him that you didn't notice...instead say that you noticed but didn't have a chance to ask about them b/c you were busy with the kids. Maybe he was really wondering too and you could have offered a closer look.  No reason to be freaking out over nothing.

Mine gets broken vessels on the sides of his back after he has been working his shoulders lats etc.... It makes red squiggly lines that kind of look like road rash. HTH

Ditto this, both my husband and myself get "scratches" from working out.
